Of all the juicy subplots for this hyped homecoming and a season opener between heated rivals, a serious injury to Hayward wasn't on the list. "You hurt for him," Celtics coach Brad Stevens said of Hayward, his former star at Butler. James said seeing Hayward get hurt reminded him of grisly injuries to Paul George, Shaun Livingston and Louisville's Kevin Ware. "I just found a familiar face and Kevin was in the right place at the right time," James said. Irving's free throw made it 102-99, and the Celtics had two late chances but both Brown and Irving missed late 3s.
